ASAP
Staffing provides information technology consultants
to Fortune 500 companies throughout the United States.
With 350 consultants, owners Nancy Williams and
Roz Alford have built the Norcross, GA-based company
from $4 million in sales in 1998 to over $30 million
in 2002.
The
company gives back through the Partnership Against
Domestic Violence. ASAP staffing employees mentor
victims of domestic violence and participate in
a unique program that allows victims to receive
training and placement at Bell South.
"We're
particularly proud of our involvement in this program,"
Williams says, "because it is changing the lives
of these women and helping them stand on their own
two feet. It builds their self-esteem and teaches
them about doing business in corporate America."
Taryn
Rose is on a mission to rescue our feet. Her Los
Angeles company is based on the premise that women
deserve to wear comfortable shoes. An orthopedic
surgeon by training, Taryn designs comfortable fashion
footwear.
Despite
family members urging her to pursue the secure life
that practicing medicine affords, she faced her
fears and decided to be "true to my soul." With
hard work and the belief that pursuing your dreams
can bring happiness, she became an entrepreneur.
Now
she gives back in every way she can, mentoring college
students, and donating dollars to the Children's
Hospital of Los Angeles and the Breast Cancer Research
Foundation. "With the understanding that survival
and success are your only options, you will be astonished
by the strength you have inside of you," she says.
